ALT5 Sigma transfers $99.7M WLFI as unrealized losses hit $853M: What’s next?

As the crypto market rallied in 2025 amid positive sentiment around policy changes, ALT5 Sigma jumped at the opportunity to acquire World Liberty Financial [WLFI]. In August, the firm announced plans to raise $750 million to purchase WLFI. 

Later, ALT5 Sigma expanded its strategy to $1.5 billion, becoming the primary Treasury reserve asset. Now, with the market on edge, it captured market share with major token movement.

According to Onchain Lens, ALT5 Sigma transferred 1.815 billion WLFI worth $99.77 million to a new address. After the transfer, the ALT5 Sigma wallet still holds 5.09 billion WFI worth $283.5 million.

Since the transfer was not made to exchanges, it remains an external transfer. Thus, the token transfer could be an internal reorganization. 

Since the transfers did not have an immediate impact on the market, the ALT5 Sigma still holds 7.28 billion and has not sold any.

However, these holdings are sitting on massive unrealized losses. Two wallets hold 6.9 billion WLFI worth $384 million.

With a cost basis of $1.24 billion, these tokens sit on $853.24 million in unrealized losses. To remain afloat, ALT5 Sigma has reportedly borrowed funds from World Liberty Financial. 

How did the World Liberty Financial market react?

Despite the transfer, WLFI has continued with the rebound from a $0.053 slip. The altcoin jumped to a high of $0.056 before slightly retracing.

As of this writing, World Liberty Financial was trading around $0.0557 after rising by 2.85% on the daily charts.

With the price hike, the altcoin flipped the Simple Moving Average at $0.0559, indicating strong short-term upside strength.

Furthermore, the altcoin’s native Strength Index (RSI) formed a bullish crossover, rising to 46. The rising RSI suggested that buyers are currently attempting to retake the market.

These buyers were mostly speculative traders, as participation in derivatives increased. According to Coinglass data, Derivatives Volume rose 16% to $50.36 million, while the Open Interest climbed 3.2% to $227.6 million.

Speculative activity has often resulted in short-term price hikes. If the activity holds, the altcoin will flip 50, validating the trend shift.

 In doing so, it will validate the strength of the trend, paving the way towards $0.06. However, holding below 50 suggests sellers remain stronger and buyers have yet to take over fully. 

In fact, on the Spot market, sellers have dominated over the past five days. In fact, the market delta has remained largely negative.

Over the past day, for example, the selling volume rose to 15.98 million compared to 12.6 million in buy volume. As a result, the Buy Sell Delta dropped to -3.38 million, a clear sign of aggressive spot selling.

With sellers still dominating the spot, the risk of another pullback remains. If the selling persists, WLFI will breach SMA and fall to $0.053.

Final Summary

• ALT5 Sigma transferred 1.815 billion WLFI worth $99.77 million to a new address as unrealized losses hit $853.24 million.
• WLFI rebounded from a $0.053 slip to $0.056 amid renewed demand in the derivatives, but the spot market remains bearish.
